Jimmy is very friendly. He is a guide so he helped us a lot to find the great things to do in the Galapagos.

Yohanna2017-07-20T00:00:00Z

Jimmy is a fantastic host. The room is fine - half the price of most hostels on the island! Jimmy helped us plan the rest of our time here and lent us snorkelling gear for our trip to Isla Isabella - he also made us pancakes for breakfast and one of the most delicious smoothies I have ever had!

Sarah2017-03-17T00:00:00Z

Great location, very friendly host, bonus breakfasts and an unbeatable price. Perfect for traveling on a budget. Just keep in mind there is no hot water or wifi. Thanks for everything!

Sam2017-09-06T00:00:00Z

Jimmy made our Galapagos stay possible!! On arrival Jimmy took the time to sit down and help plan our trip. We were on a tight budget, but even with our limited funds, Jimmy's knowledge and contacts allowed us to everything we dreamed of plus more! Really couldn't recommend this guy more if you need a place to stay and looking for ideas / inspiration.

James2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Well served by the host, the place is comfortable pleasant, a place to come with a home environment and especially economic, hospitality is a very important very attentive factor it feels to reach Galapagos, since my arrival the host waiting to greet us and make delivery of the apartment keys, in addition to that, I can note that Jimmy was not only a host but conviertió in our guide directing us through a slate of places you can visit in the schedule we choose, always willingness to answer any question that jumped at that moment, in all honesty recommend the place and the host.

Luis2017-02-10T00:00:00Z

Jimmy is a great host, he provided me lots of recommendations also for the other islands. He even invited me and another guest for a dinner with fish he caught by himself, very reliable, friendly and knowledgable host taking care of his guests and Galapagos!

Raphael2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Jimmy is a super nice guy who helped us with our travel plans and was able to give us lots of good advice. The accommodation is simple, but you have everything you need.

To be clear. We did not end up staying at Edgar's place. When we arrived (which wasn't easy due to lack of directions!), the rooms were not even close to the photos that were advertised on Airbnb. After some back in forth with Edgar and some other woman, it seems that they have a second property and they said the photos were from that property and suggested we go look there. At that point, I was so upset over the bait and switch that I wanted nothing to do with these folks and asked for my money back. They did refund my money, in cash. Since then, they have completely changed the photos on the website to reflect this property. I imagine it is fine if you are just looking for an inexpensive and simple place to rest your head. However, we were looking for a few more comforts and the entire situation didn't sit well with us since we felt like we were lured in by false advertising.

Pauline2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

loved our stay at Miconia - fantastic location, mini market opposite, excellent tour operator (Santiago) next door, plenty of restaurants, shops and amenities within easy walking distance. On arrival we literally walked with our cases from the Pier, Bus stop to the accommodation, very surprised by how close to the main areas of Puerta Ayora we were. Literally walked to the beach, the Charles Darwin research centre, the fish-market and the Piers. Couldn't have been better. The place was also better equipped than anticipated and the cooker, fridge, cutlery and crockery were hugely useful. AC was also much appreciated. a slight minus would be the lack of a reception/office, but communication via airbnb was sufficient. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Dave2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

The room had everything we needed and was as advertised. Great deal, comfortable stay and one of the most economical options around! Communication with host was not good. Never responded to our messages leading up to our stay in which we asked for address/directions. Host did not answer until almost 4pm of arrival day and we had to wander around with our bags for a few hours until host replied. Other than poor interaction with host, the room was good and the price was right!

Deborah2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

Perfect location, right by everything in town. Host made check in and out seamless, nice bed, hot shower, free drinking water even. If you're looking for a nice safe place to leave your things and sleep, would 10/10 recommend.

Dennis2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

Great place for the value. Close to everything in puerto ayora and helpful staff. We had a nice stay for 1 night before heading to Isabela island.

MI area is very quiet and safe. There are restaurants, markets, shops, pharmacies

Really nice place with private, clean rooms and bathrooms. You are provided with two towels which is nice for showering and the beach. There is a full kitchen to cook food and a market nearby for some reasonably priced food. My only issue was the roosters that crowed every morning at 4 am. It was impossible to sleep through them. The staff was very friendly and gave me maps and suggestions about what to do.

Elizabeth2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Next to the market near the main avenue, overall good, there is no one fixed at the front desk so we only saw anyone the day we arrived and one random day in the morning and at night no one, so for consultations does not serve much, give you the keys and voila, clean kitchen, cable TV, all is quiet santa cruz, therefore equal this neighborhood.

Robert 2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

The address given on the Air BnB is not accurate. It took us an hour of wandering around Puerto Ayora, asking people for help to find the spot, and when we called the number given, nobody picked up. The hostel itself was just fine, but a long walk from the center of town, and the atmosphere wasn't the best.

Emily2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

Had a great stay. Room in the front is a bit louder (but owner informed us before and offered another room). Hot water works but pressure is low. All in all I would definitely stay there again.

Very nice and quiet hostel, located near the fish market and Darwin research center. Marcos is a great guy, helped us plan our days and made good recommendations. Breakfast is good. Thanks!

Malina2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

Morning Glory AirBnB is a wonderful place. Our room was large, bright and artistically decorated. The gardens are beautiful with flowering trees and many hammocks to relax in. The breakfast was quick and delicious. The king bed was comfortable. The location was close to restaurants and shops but quiet. Marco was a great host, very helpful and friendly. His brother is an artist who paints custom artwork at a reasonable price. Our experience at Morning Glory could not have been better.

A QUIET TO 8 MINUTES WALK TO THE BOARDWALK AND AREA 2 MINUTES IN A TAXI.

Great service, good beds, clean, hot shower and good AC! This place is worth the little higher price then some other hostels. Sure, the door was not airtight so theoretically some insects could crawl in, but we did not have any issues with this. There is a joint kitchen so you can make your own breakfast. The owners are really nice and helpful!

Johan 2017-03-09T00:00:00Z

This place was in a good location and had comfy hammocks to relax in. The wifi worked, the kitchen was great and they provide clean drinking water. Unfortunately, my luggage was infested with little bugs when I left and I had to have everything cleaned. As well, the hot water in the showers only worked sometimes. Also, we thought check out was at 11 but apparently it was at 9 because our host barged into our room at 9am sharp demanding we pack up and leave so the room would be ready for the next guests. Overall, would not recommend.

megan2017-07-21T00:00:00Z

As described! Clean rooms, hot showers, air-conditioning (huge!), Great service! We loved our visit. Yes, not located on the coast but the walk is only 9 minutes and it's by the best veggie / fruit market in town, a mini-mart, along with local food options.

Matt2017-05-10T00:00:00Z

White House is an excellent place to stay. The hosts are friendly and respond immediately to the needs of the people staying. The facilities are new, comfortable and the center of Puerto Ayora is a few blocks away. The sector where it is located is safe, pleasant and silent. No doubt, I would stay there again if I returned to the island.

Judith2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

Had a pleasant stay! Located in a quiet area, main strip only a 5-8 minute walk. Some grocery and corner stores in the area but not really any restaurants. Be sure to check out the kiosks for cheap, delicious meals and great coffee! Clean, basic accommodations with air conditioning and a lockable closet. Fresh soap, towels, and the garbage was changed daily. Common area courtyard and full kitchen for use.

We rented the whole house which was great for us. The home is clean and accurately represented. There were a couple of minor issues which Kenny took care of right away. The walk to downtown is about 12 minutes or $1.50 US for a taxi. All amenities were good, including washer/dryer and wifi (as good as it gets for the island).

Plenty of space to spread out and great location. Also has air conditioning, which is a huge pro.

Nice place close to the the city center. Rates were good for the room.

Greg2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

We stayed 3 times, going back and forth between Santa Cruz and other Islands. The first 2 times were as agreed, but the 3th time we arrived we didn´t have a room so the lady took us to a different locations, which was really good, but not in the centre as was important to us. After heavy complaints, she did arrange a room in a hotel next to the original location though, that probably has cost her a lot, without charging us extra. So there was a great incorrectness in the way we were treated, but if you are assertive enough not to take everything from everyone, they do their effort to make it up.

Caroline2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Edgar's accommodation is a comfortable, safe, well located and easy to get to place, the people who care for the place were always ready to help us in everything and are very friendly people without a doubt this is a place I recommend. We stayed 4 people for 4 nights and never had any issues, the hosts always gave us tips to get to know the best places on the island.

Ruth2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

The location was very easy to find. The bus from the airport let us off across the street. It is a block from the waterfront. Guests, across the street, were loud and partied late into the night. Edgar's place was good.

Diana2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Well placed but noisy. We were in the room on the ground floor and there were bugs.

Emmanuel 2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

She apparently regularly overbooks rooms. She took us next door to try and find a room for us at a different hotel but they didn't have any space and she instead took us behind that neighboring hotel to a random unmarked and unsecure room. The room was falling apart -the bathroom door literally fell on me at one point. There was a cockroach on the floor and ants and other critters running around the bathroom. There was a hole in the ceiling that critters were getting through -spent the nught with a salamander running around the walls and bed and who knows what other animals. The window was not secure and the door did not seem to be either -we were afraid our stuff would be stolen and the room would be broken into, so we carried our money and anything of value around with us all day. This place was NOTHING like the pictures and not even in the same location. I tried to explain that this was not what we booked and she said she didn't have a room for us but could try to give us the room we had booked another night if we booked another night as well. Trust me and stay literally anywhere else. We had another night booked but after this horrendous experience, we booked a hotel room for the same price and it was so nice.

Laundry on site is a great feature, as is having your own kitchen. The apartment is small but well laid out and was perfect for our trio. All good - excellent value for the price.

The space was perfect for what we were doing and Lea was a great host. She even helped arrange transportation to and from her place. Thanks!

Alejandra even helped us out with our laundry. The house is really well equipped and very spacious. The location is great being only a 5min walk to the Main Street. We highly recommend this place and hope that we will be back again soon!

It is located in an excellent location, close to everything. The only problem is that I was 3 days and never met the host, no matter how friendly phone, although I took a boat with 33% premium. It does not include breakfast.

Pilar2017-05-17T00:00:00Z

We arrived to confusion around our room which had ambiguously mixed double info (inc. bed sizes for two people) along with info re only taking one person. We thought we confirmed two people could stay (assumed by the written request for 2 people to stay "pre-approved") but this was not the case and the price for the extra person resulted in the cost doubling upon arrival (now out of our budget!) AirBNB came to the rescue and resolved the issue but net out: double check whether the price you are paying is for single / double etc & do not assume any pre-approval implies the hotel actually read your query. My second gripe is that this is a largish hotel, not a true airBNB where one assumes you could interact with the owner / gets tips on where to go / what to do (I'm sure you could ask reception but you hopefully get my drift). Not too sure how airBNB plans to tackle the guys that are on (URL HIDDEN) for example just dual listing on AirBNB. For me, if I am looking at airBNB I am looking for this authentic experience vs if I am looking at hostel world or (URL HIDDEN) for a 'get lost in the noise'. Note that the hotel was NOT busy so this isn't a gripe around noise / waiting to be served at reception etc but more about the principle upon which I believe airBNB was founded. With that out of the way, the hotel was very well located 2min walk from the arrival pier. The room was good but not at the price we should have paid if there had not been the confusion / compromise. There are a number of amenities available such as ping pong, a bar type area upstairs and a terrace however the vibe we got was that they had been neglected / were no longer being maintained (perhaps because it is out of season when we were there?). The place does have a lot of potential. The pool area overlooks the dock which is beautiful and we enjoyed chilling here. So all in all, mixed emotions. We enjoyed our stay, place has great potential with common areas perhaps needing some TLC & we feel it is little overpriced for what you get as there are spots 5min down the road that offer the same for half the price. Most importantly for me, if you are looking for a personal experience, this is not the place for you

Nick & Louise2015-10-19T00:00:00Z

It is across from a church and you can hear their services some of the nights, otherwise it's quiet. Bed literally feels like a hard board- very uncomfortable. No water pressure and never had hot water. Wifi is also very limited. Other than those issues, it's in a really good location and the front desk can help you set up day tours ahead of time. Next time though I think I'd spend a bit more to get a better bed/shower situation.

It had a great kitchen we used to cook meals and the beds were so comfortable! It was far enough away from the main part of town to be quiet, but also close enough to walk in 10-15 minutes! I would highly recommend!

Hard to find, or the taxi that took us did not know the place. Good welcome. The house is about 1 km and a half from the center, places to eat and from the port. Apartment basic but the room (attic) without air conditioning. The father has dell'honer taxi door for around $ 35 turtles and gemelos.

Gabriele2016-03-06T00:00:00Z

Our apartment was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Alex and his family were very nice, they cleaned the apartment daily and gave fresh towels. Alex brought some coffee, tea, sugar and pastries the day we arrived. They also provided us with a 5-gallon container of fresh water for drinking. Our stay was made even more convenient by arranging for Alex's father (a taxi driver) to pick us up at the canal and to take us back when we departed. We also hired him to takes us to the highlands in Santa Cruz. Alex's recommended tour company was outstanding (we took 4 tours with them). Location: the apartment is about 10 blocks from the Malecon (waterfront area)- it's more of a residential area than a tourist area. It's convenient to walk to Tortuga Bay. If walking back and forth to the main tourist area (restaurants and shops) is a hardship, a taxi would cost you $1.50 each way. The cost savings of the apartment was well worth it. The small kitchen area was very convenient for breakfast. However it may be difficult to cook a big dinner.

Celso is an excellent host! From the first contact we got quick responses and the willingness to resolve our doubts. The accompanying staff is first, with Andrea available 7x24 to teach different things to do in Galapagos, and efficiency and Gloria smile to help in the housework. The house is located in the best part of Puerto Ayora, close to the pier for boats to different tours, taxis at the door of the house, several restaurants just around the corner, and all that is needed to have a wonderful holiday within the radius of two blocks of the house. The facilities of the house first. Clean, modern, large living spaces, kitchen and rooms with all the amenities one can imagine (up emergency kit). The two terraces are a dream to enjoy day and night, even with a large grill for barbecues. ! I congratulate Celso by the 5 stars and I hope then return to this paradise!

Rodrigo2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

Celso was very helpful from the time of booking. He spent over a hour before my arrival to share with me details of the island and even found us a great tour guide to explore the other islands. Even though he was not there during my trip, he made every attempt to be in contact with my group to ensure everything was taken care of and answer any of our needs. The home is very comfortable and large. There is an amazing terrace we didn't have the time to enjoy. The place is central to everything and extremely safe. The house manager Andrea was present and went out of her way to take care of us. I highly recommend Celso's place. I would stay there again.

Sang2016-07-07T00:00:00Z

My family (2 adults, 2 kids aged 9 and 11) stayed at Celso's place for 6 nights while on a "land-based" trip to the Galapagos. It is eceptionally well located, with several agencies around the corner, close to the fisherman's market, the supermarket, and the excellent Galapagos Deli. The house is *enormous*. Much bigger than we needed. The decor is basic -- comfortable and spacious, but without any design frills; in short, exactly as pictured. The kitchen is well equipped for basic cooking. There are many books and DVDs and a TV which we never used. Daily cleaning service was great, and the communication before and during the trip was excellent. Celso is a very professional host who clearly takes pride in hosting. There are few places that can match Celso's terrific apartment for size and location. Highly recommended!

Claudia and Leo2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Celso's place was perfectly located, loads & loads of space a great terrace which we enjoyed watching the sunset & having a beer. We stayed nine days. Everything worked well. We contacted Celso just by email (as we did not have a local sim card) and Cleso normally replied within a few hours.

Berge2017-01-25T00:00:00Z

Very good location and very attentive host.

Felipe2016-11-02T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 73 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Shannon2017-03-31T00:00:00Z

This home is more than just a house; it's truly a slice of heaven on Earth. Perfect location, comfortable beds and sofas, ample kitchen, lovely people who help clean up after guests, and a fabulous view from the rooftop! Just make sure to communicate clearly with the owner, Celso. He is very accommodating but can misunderstand English at times.

Sonia is a great host, the place is well located and as described! I would recommend this place and I hope to come back as soon as possible to Galápagos and stay at Sonia's hostel again!

Luiz Eduardo2017-04-26T00:00:00Z

Clean place, comfortable.

Marie2017-01-21T00:00:00Z

Hotel own good, very nice hosts, drinking water, hot water and functional wifi. comfortable hotel. We highly recommend it, except for urine smell coming from the toilets or drains.

Stéphanie2017-02-16T00:00:00Z

Hostal Costa del Pacífico is an OK option for a stay at Santa Cruz, the location is very good and the rooms are very clean. The place is new and in very good shape. Upon arrival we had a misunderstanding about the price which is always uncomfortable. No help with tours or places to visit was really offered, but then again we didn't really ask for it either. All in all a pleasant stay.

Elisa2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

Central hostel close to the dock and plenty of restaurants. Cute little cafe a few buildings down. Transportation is a breeze and the staff give you a convenient map to find your way around. Definitely love the location of this place! The only issue was that after they moved me into a new room it was ridiculously loud until 1am or so. Random appliances banging right outside the window at different times. It wasn't pleasant. I would definitely recommend this hostel just don't stay in room 9!

Ayden2017-05-03T00:00:00Z

Overall a pleasant experience. Centrally located, super responsive host Sonia, laundry and cleaning done as per need, functional kitchen. Just a caveat- we were staying in Room 2 and there was street light directly outside our room, so it was not very dark at night; issue if you are a light sleeper. But otherwise, a good stay

Raghav2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

Probably I am a specific case, I do not know but I comment it, there was no greater interest for the customer when making the reservation, many on Airbnb contact us indicate how to arrive if the customer has requirements or something, the room that they delivered was not in Great conditions, had a damp wall dirty curtains and loose air cables, the toilet service they charge should be in the morning hours we arrived at two and just that time they were going to do, not specify in their description that they charge taxes Causes discomfort

Bass2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Yolanda provided a lovely experience on the island. She arranged transportation, a tour, provided a lovely breakfast and most importantly, shared her beautiful spirit. We highly recommend her lodging and look forward to a return trip.

Stephanie2016-07-01T00:00:00Z

Yolanda and her partner were wonderful , warm hosts. The Pearl is very well located with easy access to restaurants, transportation and the pier. Loved our stay.

Lucia2016-02-18T00:00:00Z

This is my second visit in the last six months to the Galapagos Pearl. Upon arrival I was warmly greeted by the innkeepers Yolanda and Domingo. Yolanda and Domingo are the perfect innkeepers. They are very helpful and pleasant. Domingo was very kind and offered me use of his bike which made it way easier to zip around town. Most locals travel by bike. He also ventured out in the wee hours of the morning to provide guests with fresh, hot croissants every morning. Yolanda is the perfect host. She goes out of her way to make sure you enjoy your visit and your every need is met. She prepares a lovely and HUGE breakfast. Every morning I had 2 eggs over easy, croissants, fresh juice and a beautiful spread of fruit grown on the island. I would not stay anywhere in Puerto Ayora but the Galapagos Pearl.

Imelda2016-05-06T00:00:00Z

We LOVED our time with Jhefferson and Yolanda! The Galápagos Pearl is a real gem. We we greeted by a lovely lunch of ceviche and rice. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was amazing. We ended up staying an additional night at the pearl because of the great experience we had!!!

Charlie2015-12-22T00:00:00Z

Beautiful space, quiet and comfortable ;) very walkable to everything in town, the staff were super friendly and helpful. Jhef went out of the way to make arrangements for our tour choices and offered great suggestions for our short stay. Hope to visit again soon! Thanks much!

Beth2016-10-20T00:00:00Z

We stayed in room #6 and enjoyed our comfortable and clean room. Perfect location, less than a 5 minute walk to town but quiet, except for a barking dog, which is hard to escape in Ecuador. The shower is large, had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. There is a king bed and a twin bed, both comfortable. A/C worked great, and there were airy, screened, large windows. Breakfast was delicious, with a different fresh juice daily, croissants, fresh fruit with yoguart, eggs. The grounds are quiet, pretty and the small pool was very clean. We appreciated the help and advice provided for our travels, tho we speak little spanish and their was a small language barrier. The only wish was to have a small refrigerator in the room so we could have cold beverages at all times, tho there is a small store 2 doors down. We could not receive reliable Wi-Fi in the room. Not important to me as I was in the room just to sleep and shower. Would most definitely stay again!

Lori2017-06-20T00:00:00Z

Yolanda was a tremendous host and a fantastic travel agent! She told us what to do and where, and what to expect ; and she was always right on target! Her breakfast are fantastic and she even made her kitchen available to us to do some cooking while our stove was being installed (we rented a little appt w/ 2 rooms/ bath/Kitchenette) We will highly recommend "The Pearl", because it lives up to its name! Centrally located, close to the downtown + piers + Darwin Center (only FYI for all Galapagos, the internet is quite slow, everywhere)

Marcelo2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

I was very impressed with the overall service, setting, and comfort of this hotel. It offers a great value, especially when compared to other similar hotels in town that are much more expensive. Jheferson's parents run the hotel, and they are delightful! They will help arrange taxis and offer guidance and tips only provided by locals. They gave me the best room in the building, number 8- large space with king bed and good A/C, a desk and chair and best of all, an outdoor patio overlooking the whole property AND the ocean! Oh the pool is a great amenity too. It's small but perfect temperature and tucked away in the corner of the property, thus offering privacy for an afternoon dip. I slept well (no noise from surrounding areas), and was greeted with a good cup of coffee each morning. And the location is good: only a 5 minute walk into the center of town.

We are near the soccer fields, sports coliseum, market and 10 blocks from the beach Charles Darwin Station

Joses house was the perfect place to stay for our time no Santa Cruz. Perfect location! Out of the main streets where it's nice and quiet but only a 10 minute walk to everything! However, Jose was nice enough to let us borrow his bikes whenever we needed, which made it about a two minute trip into town! The room is big and spacious with aircondining and hot shower with Jose making sure it was cleaned everyday with beds made and fresh towels. His family was also very accommodating and kind every time we saw them. To finish off our trip Jose offered to book us a taxi to the airport so he made our stay very memorable and would definitely return!

Zoe2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Dennys2017-06-14T00:00:00Z

Jose's place is clean, bug free, and well kept. Jose is a great host who will help you with navigation tips, places to visit, and great restaurants to eat. It is a bit far from the Malécon but taxis are everywhere and are very cheap within town. I would love to stay here again!

Aj2017-03-29T00:00:00Z

Everything is good but it's hard to find

Roxanne2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

Jose is a fantastic host who can help you plan your whole trip! He can get some of the best prices on tours and is always willing to help. The room is cleaned everyday, has a bar fridge and a beautiful shower! You won't regret staying here.

Daniel2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

Fantastic host, very friendly and attentive. Nice room, good air con, ok hot water, huge matrimonial bed, there were bikes we borrowed to get around which is definitely the way to experience the area. Highly recommended.

Chrisko2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

José was a perfect host ! The place is very clean and beautiful ! Only 10 minutes walk or 1$ in taxi from the centre, I would recommend this place to everybody ! Before you get there, ask José the exact address It will be easier for the taxi driver ! Thank you for the Amazing Stay !

jérémie2017-05-26T00:00:00Z

We had a great time here! Everything worked out great and Jose is fantastic at helping with whatever we needed including tour and island information. The only problems we ran into were finding the place when we first arrived, so just know that it is part of the Imprente Graphicas shops, and the wifi was very bad but it is like that all over the island. Had a good time and I highly recommend it!

The listing was just as the description said and was exactly what we needed. Great location, walking distance from everything but still not in the middle of the main area; quiet at night. Everything we needed was in the house and made our stay even easier. The host is very communicative, helpful and quick to reply. We all enjoy our stay and would recommend it!

Evelyne2015-12-06T00:00:00Z

Accurate and accomodating

Michele2016-10-21T00:00:00Z

The host was very generous with the amount of information provided. Any questions we had were promptly answered in great detail. The amenities themselves greatly exceeded our expectations, with such items as a large movie collection and a wide assortment of spices and sundries available. Even though you're in a complex with two other houses it truly feels like your own isolated island home in the heart of San Cruz.

Christina2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic experience here - gorgeous place with all of the comforts of home! The location was excellent, the garden was serene and the actual home exceeded our expectations. Kitchen is amazing and really helped us keep our meals affordable. Also, Tatjana was a wonderful host (even from afar!) and provided us all kinds of excellent advice/recommendations for the area.

Lisa2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful place to stay - very quiet and secluded but only minutes away from the main town. The villa is very tastefully decorated and laid out with lots of character - understated and comfortable, with some nice spaces to chill out, read and plan your visit to Galapagos. The hosts were very kind and friendly. This villa is even nicer than the photos suggest.

Phil2017-02-10T00:00:00Z

Such a wonderful house in Galapagos! We spent a week here and it served as the perfect home-base to explore the islands. The house is a quick walk from all the restaurants, shops and main pier - and we felt very safe the whole time. The property itself is gorgeous, it's one of 3 houses in a huge walled in garden with lots of tropical trees and flowers. We never heard any of the neighbours, though saw the housekeeper Maria a few times who is very nice! We especially enjoyed the big outdoor patio and had many beautiful breakfasts and dinners outside. The kitchen is very well stocked, the beds are comfortable, and all communication with our host was great. Hope to stay again!

Mark2016-12-16T00:00:00Z

We had an awesome time , everything was perfection right from checkin process, prompt communication on any of our needs, house cleanliness and comfort. We should have stayed more days here than in the hotels. This was perfect location few blocks from the restaurants and the port with nice garden and spacious home.
